`
`It is not known whether this drug is se-
`Nursing Mothers:
`creted in human milk and because of the potential for seri-
`ous adverse reactions from folodipine in the infant, a deci-
`sion should be made whether to discontinue nursing or to
`discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of
`the drug to the mother.
`Pediatric Use: Safety and effectiveness in pediatric pa-
`tients have not been established
`
`’ Based on patient weight of 50 kg
`ADVERSE REACTIONS
`
`In controlled studies in the United States and overseas, ap-
`proximately 3000 patients were treated with felodipine as
`either the extended-release or the immediate-release formu-
`lation.
`The most common clinical adverse events reported with
`PLENDIL administered as monotherapy at the recom-
`mended dosage range of 2.5 mg to 10 mg once a day were
`peripheral edema and headache. Peripheral edema was
`generally mild, but it was age and dose related and resulted
`in discontinuation of therapy in about 3% of the enrolled
`patients. Discontinuation of therapy due to any clinical ad-
`verse event occurred in about 6% of the patients receiving
`PLENDIL, principally for peiipheral edema, headache, or
`flushing
`Adverse events that occurred with an incidence of 1 5% or
`greater at any of the recommended doses of 2.5 mg to 10 mg
`once a day (PLENDIL, N = 861; Placebo, N = 334), without
`i~cgai'(l to causality, are compared to placebo and are listed
`by dose in the table below These events are reported from
`controlled clinical trials with patients who were randomized
`to a fixed dose of PLENDIL or titrated from an initial dose
`of2 5 mg or 5 mg once a day A dose of 20 mg once a day has
`been evaluated in some clinical studies Although the anti-
`liypeitensive effect of PLENDIL is increased at 20 mg once
`a day, there is a dispropoitionate increase in adverse events,
`especially those associated with vasodilatory effects (see
`DOSAGE and ADMINISTRATION),
`[See table at bottom of previous page]
`Adverse events that occurred in 0 5 up to 1.5% of patients
`who received PLENDIL in all controlled clinical trials at the
`recommended dosage range of 2 5 mg to 10 mg once a day,
`and serious adverse events that occurred at a lower rate, or
`events reported during marketing experience (these lower
`rate events are in italics) are listed below These events are
`listed in order of decreasing severity within each category,
`and the relationship of these events to administration of
`PLENDIL is uncertain Body as .3 Whole: Chest pain, facial
`edema, flu—like illness; Cardiovascular: Myocardial infarc-

`occuiied in <05% of patients in controlled studies. This
`condition may be avoided or may regress with improved
`dental hygiene. (See PRECAUTIONS, Information for Pa-
`tients.)
`Clinical Laboratory Test Findings: Serum Elcctrolytcs—No
`significant eflects on serum electrolytes were obseived dur-
`ing short- and long-term therapy (see CLINICAL PHARMA-
`COLOGY, Renal/Endociine Effects)
`Scrum Glucosc——No significant effects on fasting serum glu-
`cose were observed iii patients treated with PLENDIL in
`the U.S. controlled study
`Liver E'izzymes—1 of 2 episodes of elevated serum trans-
`aniinases decreased once drug was discontinued in clinical
`studies; no follow-up was available for the other patient.
`OVERDOSAGE
`
`Oral doses of 240 iiig/kg and 264 mg/kg in male and female
`mice, respectively, and 2390 mg/kg and 2250 mg/kg in male
`and female rats, respectively, caused significant lethality
`In a suicide attempt, one patient took 150 mg felodipine to-
`gether with 15 tablets each of atenolol and spironolactone
`and 20 tablets of nitrazepam. The patient’s blood pressure
`and heart rate were normal on admission to hospital; he
`subsequently recovered without significant sequclae.
`Overdosage might be expected to cause excessive peripheral
`vasodilation with marked hypotcnsion and possibly brady-
`cardia
`If severe hypotension occui's, symptomatic tieatment should
`be instituted The patient should be placed supine with the
`legs elevated. The adiiiinistration of intravenous fluids may
`be useful to treat hypotension due to overdosage with cal-
`cium antagonists In case of accompanying bradycardia, at-
`iopine (0.5—1 mg) should be administered intravenoiisly.
`Sympathoniimetic diugs may also be given if the physician
`feels they are warranted.
`It has not been established whether fclodipine can be re-
`moved from the ciiculation by liemodialysis.
`To obtain up-to-date information about the treatment of
`overdose, consult your Regional Poison-Control Centei.
`
`Telephone numbers of certified poison—control centers are
`listed in gie Pliysicians’Dcsk Re/‘eiencc (FDR) In managing
`overdose, consider the possibilities of multiple-drug over-
`doses, drug-drug interactions, and unusual ding kinetics in
`your patient.
`DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
`
`The recommended starting dose is 5 mg once a day. Depend-
`ing on the patient’s iesponse, the dosage can be decreased to
`2 5 mg or increased to 10 mg once a day. These adjustments
`should occur generally at intervals of not less than 2 weeks.
`The recoiiimeiided dosage range is 25-10 mg once daily. In
`clinical trials, doses above 10 mg daily showed an increased
`blood pressure response but a large increase in the rate of
`peiipheral edema and other vasodilatoiy adverse events
`(see ADVERSE REACTIONS). Modification of the recom-
`mended dosage is usually not required in patients with re-
`nal impairment.
`,
`PLENDIL should regularly be taken either without food or
`with a light meal (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, Phar-
`macokinetics and Metabolism). PLENDIL should be swal-
`lowed whole and not crushed or chewed.
`Use in the Elderly oi Parieiits with Impaired Liver Func-
`tioiz-—Patients over 65 years of age, or patients with im-
`paired liver function, may develop higher plasma concentra-
`tions of felodipine; therefore, a starting dose of 2 5 mg once
`a day is iecomniended. Dosage may be adjusted as described
`above. (See PRECAUTIONS )

`idly degraded in acid media, but has acceptable stability un-
`der alkaline conditions.
`PRILOSEC is supplied as delayed-release capsules for oral
`administration. Each delayed-release capsule contains ei-
`ther 10 mg, 20 mg or 40 mg of omeprazole in the form of
`enteiic-coated granules with the following inactive ingredi-
`ents: cellulose, disodium hydrogen phosphate, hydroxypro-
`pyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl niethylcellulose, lactose, man-
`nitol, sodium lauryl sulfate and other ingredients. The cap‘-
`sule shells have the following inactive ingredients: gelatin-

`CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
`Pharmacokinetics and Metabolism: Omeprazole
`PRILOSEC Delayed-Release Capsules contain an enteric-
`coated granule formulation of onieprazole (because omepra-
`zole is acid-labile), so that absorption of omeprazole begins
`only after the granules leave the stomach. Absorption is
`rapid, with peak plasma levels of omeprazole occurring
`within 0.5 to 3.5 hours. Peak plasma concentrations ofome-
`prazole and AUC are approximately propoitional to doses
`up to 40 mg, but because of a saturable first-pass effect, a
`gieater than liiieai' response in peak plasma concentration
`and AUC occurs with doses greater than 40 mg. Absolute
`bioavailability (compared to intravenous administration) is
`about 30-40% at doses of 20-40 mg, due in large part to
`presystemic metabolism In healthy subjects the plasma
`half-life is 0 5 to 1 hour, and the total body clearance is 500-
`600 mL/min. Protein binding is approximately 95%.
`The bioavailability ofomeprazole increases slightly upon re-
`peated administration of PRILOSEC Delayed-Release Cap-
`sules
`Following single dose oral administration of a buffered so-
`lution of omeprazole, little if any unchanged drug was ex-
`creted in urine. The majority of the dose (about 77%) was
`eliminated in urine as at least six metabolites. ’I‘wo were
`identified as hydroxyomeprazole and the corresponding car-
`boxylic acid The remainder of the dose was recoverable in
`feces This implies a significant biliary excretion of the me-
`tabolites of omeprazole Three metabolites have been iden-
`tified in plasma~the sulfide and sulfone derivatives of ome-
`prazole, and hydroxyomeprazole. These metabolites have
`very little or no antisecretory activity.
`In patients with chronic hepatic disease, the bioavailability
`increased to approximately 100% compared to an IV. dose,
`reflecting decreased first-pass effect, and the plasma half-
`life of the drug increased to nearly 3 hours compared to the
`half-life in normals of 0 5-1 hour. Plasma clearance aver-
`aged 70 mL/min, compared to a value of 500-600 mL/min in
`normal subjects.
`In patients with chronic renal impairment, whose creati-
`nine clearance ranged between 10 and 62 mL/min/1 73 1112,
`the disposition of omeprazole was veiy similar to that in
`healthy volunteers, although there was a slight increase in
`bioavailability. Because urinary excretion is a primary route
`of excretion of omeprazole metabolites, their elimination
`slowed in proportion to the decreased creatinine clearance
`The elimination rate of omeprazole was somewhat de-
`creased in the elderly, and bioavailability was increased
`Omeprazole was 76% bioavailable when a single 40 mg oral
`dose of omeprazole (buffered solution) was administered to
`healthy elderly volunteers, versus 58% in young volunteers
`given the same dose Nearly 70% of the dose was recovered
`in urine as metabolites of oiiieprazole and no unchanged
`drug was detected. The plasma clearance of omeprazole was
`250 mL/min (about half that of young volunteers) and its
`plasma half-life averaged one hour, about twice that of
`young healthy volunteers
`In pharmacokinetic studies of single 20 mg omepiazole
`doses, an increase in AUC of approximately four-fold was
`noted in Asian subjects compared to Caucasians.
`Dose adjustment, particularly where maiiitenaiice of heal-
`ing of erosive esophagitis is indicated, for the hepatically
`iinpaiied and Asian subjects should be considered.
`Pharmacokinefics: Combination Therapy with Antimicrobi-
`als
`Omeprazole 40 mg daily was given in combination with
`claritliromycin 500 mg every 8 hours to healthy adult male
`subjects The steady state plasma concentrations of omepra-
`zole were increased (Cum, AUC0_2,, and TV, increases of
`30%, 89% and 34% respectively) by the concomitant admin-
`istration of claritliromycin. The obseived increases in ome-
`prazole plasma concentration were associated with the fol-
`lowing pharmacological effects The mean 24-hour gastric
`pH value was 5 2 when omeprazolc was administered alone
`and 5.7 when co-administered with clarithromycin.
`'I‘he plasma levels of clarithromycin and l4-hydroxy-
`clarithromycin were increased by the concomitant adminis-
`tration of omeprazole For clarithromycin, the mean C,,,,,,
`was 10% greater, the mean C,,,,,, was 27% greater, and the

`serum gastrin occurred with continued treatment In com-
`paiison with histamine H2-receptor antagonists, the nie-
`dian increases produced by 20 mg doses of omeprazole were
`higher (1 3 to 3 6 fold vs 1.1 to 1 8 fold increase). Gastrin
`values returned to pretreatment levels, usually within 1 to
`2 weeks after discontinuation of therapy.
`Other E/feels
`Systemic effects of omepiazole in the CNS, cadiovascular
`and respiratory systems have not been found to date. Ome-
`prazole, given in oral doses of 30 or 40 mg for 2 to 4 weeks,
`had no eliect on thyroid function, carbohydrate metabolism,
`or circulating levels of parathyioid hormone, cortisol, estra-
`diol, testosterone, prolactin, cholecystokinin or secretin.
`No effect on gastric emptying of the solid and liquid compo-
`nents ofa test meal was demonstrated after a single dose of
`omeprazole 90 mg In healthy subjects, a single I V,_ dose of
`omeprazole (0 35 mg/kg) had no effect on intrinsic factor se-
`cretion No systemic dose-dependent etiect has been ob-
`served on basal or stimulated pepsin‘ output in humans.
`However, when intragastric pH is maintained at 4.0 or
`above, basal pepsin output is low, and pepsin activity is de-
`creased.
`As do other agents that elevate intragaatric pH, omeprazole
`administered for 14 days in healthy subjects produced a sig-
`nificant increase in the intragastric concentrations of viable

`Duodenal Ulcer Disease
`Active Duodenal Ulcer--In a multicenter, double-blind, pla-
`cebo-controlled study of 147 patients with endoscopically
`documented duodenal ulcer,
`the percentage of patients
`healed (per protocol) at 2 and 4 weeks was significantly
`higher with PRILOSEC 20 mg once a day than with placebo
`(13 S 0.01).

`Healing occurred significantly faster in patients treated

`150 mg b.i.d, (p < 0.01).
`In a foreign multinational randomized, double-blind study
`of 105 patients with endoscopically documented duodenal
`ulcer, 20 mg and 40 mg of PRILOSEC were compared to
`150 mg b.i.d. of ranitidine at 2, 4 and 8 weeks. At 2 and
`4 weeks both doses ofPRILOSEC were statistically superior
`(per protocol) to ranitidine, but 40 mg was not superior to
`20 mg of PRILOSEC, and at 8 weeks there was no signifi-
`cant difference between any of the active dings.

`Triple Therapy (PRILOSEC/clarzthromycm/amoticillm)—-
`Tlii ee U.S., randomized, double-blind clinical studies in pa-
`tients with H pylori iiifection and duodenal ulcer disease
`(n = 558) compared PRILOSEC plus clzirithroiiiycin plus
`amoxicillin to claiithromyciri plus anioxicillin. Two studies
`(126 and 127) were conducted in patients with an active du-
`odenal ulcer, and the other study (M96446) was conducted
`in patients with a history of a duodenal ulcer in the past
`5 years but without an ulcer present at the tune of enroll-
`ment. The dose regimen in the studies was PRILOSEC
`20 mg b i (1. plus clarithiomycin 500 mg b.i.d plus amoxicil-
`lin 1 g b.i.d for 10 days, or clarithromycin 500 mg b.i.d plus
`anioxicillin 1 g b.i.d. for 10 days. In studies 126 and 127,
`patients who took the omeprazole regimen also received an
`additional 18 days of PRILOSEC 20 mg q.d Endpoints
`studied were eiadication of H pylori and duodenal ulcer
`healing (studies 126 and 127 only) H. pylori status was de-
`termined by CLOtest®, histology and culture in all three
`studies. For a given patient, H. pylori was considered crad-
`icated if at least two of these tests were negative, and none
`was positive.
`The combination of omeprazole plus clarithromycin plus
`ainoxicillin was cilective in eradicating H pylori

`by PRILOSEC 40 mg q.d. (M92~812b) for an additional
`14 days in patients with active duodenal ulcer associated
`with H pylori Studies M93—067 and M93400 were con-
`ducted in the U.S and Canada and enrolled 242 and
`256 patients, respectively. H. pylori infection and duodenal
`ulcer were confirmed in 219‘patients in Study M93—067 and
`228 patients in Study M93—100. These studies compared
`the combination regimen to PRILOSEC and clarithromycin
`monotherapies. Studies M92—812b and M93—058 were con-
`ducted in Europe and enrolled 154 and 215 patients, respec-
`tively. H. pylori infection and duodenal ulcer were confirmed
`in 148 patients in study M92—812b and 208 patients in
`Study M93458. These studies compared the combination
`regimen to omeprazole monotherapy. The results for the ef-
`ficacy analyses for these studies are described below. H. py-
`lori eradication was defined as no positive test (culture or
`histology) at 4 weeks following the end of treatment, and
`two negative tests were required to be considered eradi-
`cated ofH pylon. In the per~protocol analysis, the following
`patients were excluded‘ dropouts, patients with missing H.
`pylori tests post-treatment, and patients that were not as-
`sessed for H. pylori eradication because they were found to
`have an ulcer at the end of treatment
`The combination of omeprazole and clarithromycin was
`elfective in eradicating H. pylori‘.
`[See second table at top of previous page]
`Ulcer healing was not significantly different when clarithro~
`mycin was added to omeprazole therapy compared to ome-
`prazole therapy alone.
`The combination of omeprazole and clarithromycin was ef-
`fective in eradicating H. pylori and reduced duodenal ulcer
`recurrence.
